So, in my first meeting with Chris Van Dusen, our showrunner, I had to awkwardly slip in the question in some way,"Am I her? Are we doing that thing?" Because it changes the character completely, it changes how I would've approached her, and it gives this whole other layer. And how I find out was really strange. I just had one audition for this show. I thought it was going to be months and months, but it was just one, and the tape went to L.A.
It was so much fun, because what I always think about Penelope is that she's sort of the lowest-status person in any room she's in, while also being the highest status because she's the most powerful woman in London. She can make or break someone. She controls things. She can break up a match or a marriage or someone's reputation.
She's so fascinating, because she has so many sides to her. When she's with Eloise, you do see that she's really intelligent and has these desires, and probably does want a career, but also wants a husband too. I can't admit that to Eloise, because Eloise is so anti all of that. I think the way that Penelope has grown up, she's used to keeping secrets, because she doesn't really have anyone in her family to confide in.
